At that time I was kind of fascinated with Turkish people, they are good looking with their blue green grey eyes and most of the men looked a lot like Sean Connery aka the most famous James Bond and the ladies...tak payah cakaplah lawa-lawa belaka. Even yang berjalan tempang I saw at their airport pun when I first arrived pun nampak segak kehkehkeh... tetapi indah rupa daripada perangai tahun lepas semasa mengerjakan haji orang turki ni lah yang paling tidak disukai, they were a rough lot! But that is my opinion lah....

The only momento that I have of this visit to Istanbul 13 years ago till now is a leather skinned handbag with Turkish/Egyptian calligraphy pattern and is still in good condition. The leather is of a fire-resistance kind and I remember how the salesman demonstrated by lighting up a lighter to burn the surface of the bag without damaging the bag.

Guard Your Heart!

Everything you say or allow into your eyes or ears becomes data that is stored in your heart. That data is later replayed during your prayer. If you want to know what is filling your heart, look at what you think about in your prayer. If you want to guard your heart, guard your eyes, ears and tongue.
